Shelly's Comic Book Shelf
I have a particular fondness for this blog because the writer is one of few comic bloggers who are not twenty years my junior--makes me feel not quite so ancient once in a while :). And it's a very good blog, full of comic reviews and discussion of current issues in comicdom, always with a good grasp of comic history. Another Blow To My Childhood Memories.
Silver Age Comics
Silver Age comics hold a special place in my heart, growing up in that era as I did, and I'm always surprised at how much I still remember about those old books. This blog remembers, too, and is always good for a nostalgia bath! Recent good stuff: Classic Stories of the 1960s: Super-Menace.
Snap Judgments
Basic and detailed reviews of current titles, character studies that make sense (one of the strongest features of this blog), commentary on art, trends and other aspects of comics. Recent good stuff: It Almost Makes Sense… Almost.
Snark Free Waters
One of the more organized comic blogs out there--themes, games, questions to consider, comic countdowns (funniest comic, most serious superhero, etc.) and always featuring dynamic, dramatic comic images. Recent good stuff:
2nd Funniest Comic Book - Justice League/Justice League International/Justice League America.
Spoilt!
Those of us on a comic budget have got to love the concept behind this blot--all-you-need-to-know plot descriptions of many current books. It's a real boon when one is trying to keep track of crossovers and big company-wide events without overspending. I've even been known to give a new book a try after reading a synopsis here!
More to come...

Hey, thanks for the good words. I know what you mean about the average comic blogger being decades younger. Makes me wish we'd had blogging back in the '60s. ;)
